Railroad Energy Harvester by Stony Brook UniversityAnyone who has stood next to a train pulling into a station can attest to the immense power it produces as it rattles along the rails. Scientists at Stony Brook University recently won a national award their mechanical motion rectifier (MMR)-based Railroad Energy Harvester - an invention that harvests electricity from the vibrations produced by railroad trains. The invention has the potential to save millions in railroad energy costs while reducing carbon emissions....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/new-technology-harvests-electricity-from-railroad-train-track-vibrations/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
